Not Going Back with Cleve Jones
On Guard Ep 24
In the realm of LGBTQ and civil rights politics, there are few people more experienced than the rightfully esteemed Cleve Jones. We’ve interviewed Cleve before, but in light of the upcoming election and the onslaught of anti-LGBTQ legislation and sentiment coming from the conservative side of the political spectrum, we wanted to have Cleve back on our show to give us his thoughts on how we as queer, kinky, and otherwise marginalized people can rally the vote in November and maintain our freedoms and move our causes forward.
Cleve mentions Seed the Vote (https://seedthevote.org/ ) that recruits, trains, and supports volunteers to door knock and phone bank with local partners in the most critical swing states for the presidential, senate and house races. We recommend you register to vote and if already registered check that your registration is active and accurate. You can do that at https://www.vote.org/ .
There are lots of opportunities to help Harris and Democrats win in November. You can find many of them at https://events.democrats.org or you can text JOIN to 30330.. Cleve mentions the dangers of Project 2025, a Republican roadmap that could destroy our democracy and eliminate basic human rights for many Americans. The Center for American Progress released state-specific one-pagers about what will happen if Republicans implement their P25 plan.
You can find that at https://www.digitaldrumbeat.com/p/new-projected-state-by-state-impacts . Democracy Docket offers their take on Project 2025 also at https://www.democracydocket.com/analysis/what-is-project-2025-and-why-is-it-alarming. We hope that our audience is engaged in this election and especially that they vote.
Cleve also mentioned an upcoming epic fundraising party in honor of his birthday which happens to also be National Coming Out Day, October 11, 2024. Our On Guard crew will be there and we hope to see lots of other leather, kink, and fetish people in attendance. Tickets at the link: http://clevejones70.com
